Surf Coast Shire Rural Strategy Review Final Report 1.4.1 Deans Marsh Location/Description Deans Marsh is a small town located on the western fringe of the Shire in the northern foothills of the Great Otway National Park. There are 45 homes in and around the town serviced by a school, shop and church in the town centre. Existing land use Farming is the predominant land use of the land surrounding the Deans Marsh township. Previously a noted dairying district, many properties are now being farmed for lifestyle purposes. A number of tourist uses are developing in the area, particularly along the road to Lorne and around Pennyroyal such as bed and breakfast and cabin accommodation. Timber plantations is also a common use on the more steeply undulating land. Agricultural quality The land immediately associated with Deans Marsh Creek forms a narrow ribbon of Class 2 (high) agricultural quality land. Note that some of this high agricultural quality land is within the Town Zone. The remaining land is Class 2-3 (high to average) agricultural quality with the quality moving sharply from high to moderate as the land becomes more steeply undulating. Landscape values The area straddles the Deans Marsh-Lorne Road and the Winchelsea Deans Marsh Road and incorporates the scenic agricultural landscape at the northern foothills of the Otway Ranges. The boundaries are defined by a landscape unit based approximately on a viewshed from the township of Deans Marsh. The area is characterised by rolling topography with creek valleys (the most significant being the Deans Marsh Creek) rising from the flat pastoral land of the north to the hilly Otway Ranges in the south. There are significant stands of native vegetation and plantation forestry. While the views relatively enclosed, occasional views across the plains to the north, and to the hills in the south may be enjoyed.
